I have had a number of SLR macro lenses from Contax, Tamron and Olympus throughout the years but doing macrophotography with something like my current iPhone SE is a little tricky, if not impossible.
iPhone SE’s portrait mode lets me have at least some bokeh in my photos to minimize distracting backgrounds, but Apple’s recent iPhone Macro Challenge shows what kind of amazing photos can be created if one is willing to spend tens of thousands of yen for their flagship iPhone 13 Pro series.
